Japan day 2

The first thing we did when we reached Hiroshima was visit the atomic bomb memorial park. The above is what is left of one of the buildings that remained standing after the bomb was detonated over the city. After that we visited the museum which was really depressing and sad. The effect of the bomb was really horribly devastating. In the museum, they have two models. One of the city before the bomb and the other after. If you've never sen photos of the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the model of the city after the bombing will really illustrate to you just how destructive it was. It's really quite chilling. :-(
